Sharp pastels - lemon, tangerine - are, along with sky blue, the colours of next season...'

Simon ChilversPhotograph: Yui Mok/PATopshop Unique: 'Translation: hip hop Cleopatra via the 90s. Think A LOT of gold, Keith Haring-like squiggle prints, crop tops, cycling shorts, sporty parkas and even a leather baseball cap.'
